Astronomers Uncover Red Geyser Galaxies Hosting Low-Energy Supermassive Black Holes

An international team of scientists, including the University of Kentucky's Renbin Yan, have uncovered a new class of galaxies, called "red geysers," with supermassive black hole winds so hot and energetic that stars can't form.

Researchers Detect Signature of Charge Stripes in Hourglass Compound

The nature of the magnetic ground state giving rise to the hourglass-shaped magnetic spectrum common among high-temperature superconductors is a matter of debate.

New ALMA Analysis Provides Firm Evidence of Baby Planets Around Young HL Tauri Star

A new analysis of the ALMA data for a young star HL Tauri provides yet more firm evidence of baby planets around the star. Researchers uncovered two gaps in the gas disk around HL Tauri. The locations of these gaps in the gas match the locations of gaps in the dust found in the ALMA high resolution image taken in 2014.

Scientists Propose New Method for Creating Extremely Strong Spin Currents

In our computer chips, information is transported in form of electrical charge. Electrons or other charge carriers have to be moved from one place to another. For years scientists have been working on elements that take advantage of the electrons angular momentum (their spin) rather than their electrical charge.

Researchers Discover Most Luminous Gamma-Ray Emission from Merging Galaxy Arp 220

A University of Oklahoma team has detected for the first time the most luminous gamma-ray emission from a galaxy--the merging galaxy Arp 220 is the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxy to Earth, and it reveals the hidden extreme energetic processes in galaxies.

Physicists Realize Quantum Geometric Charge Pump for Bose-Einstein Condensate

The idea of a pump is at least as old as the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist Archimedes. More than 2000 years ago, Archimedes allegedly invented a corkscrew pump (link is external) that could lift water up an incline with the turn of a handle. Versions of the ancient invention still bear his name and are used today in agriculture and industry.
